How does a guy who has always (easily) averaged about 12-15 points a year suddenly not score at all ?

He sure runs his mouth though....

I thought Wallace would be a big upgrade over Brandon Bass and would fit in perfectly with the new "positionless" small ball era Celtics

He's just been terrible

And I don't like how he's the only guy who's "off message" .....

You can't be running your mouth when you're averaging 2 points a game and you're getting 25 minutes a game !

This guy has to go , sooner rather than later.

And what about Mr Humpty ? He was supposed to be the villan and a bad influence, he's been the exact opposite. If they can resign him for Scalabrine money or even Rasheed Wallace money, wouldn't that make sense ?

Still, all of this, even the losing , is better than having to watch Pierce and KG disintigrate before our very eyes........

Huh! Everybody and their brother from Boston area knows Ainge was handed a title on a silver platter from his bud McHale. That's the only way Ainge can get a championship. For god's sakes what gm has seats under the basket in a playoff game and tries to prevent the opposing team from making a free throw by throwing up a white towel at the same exact time the player from the opposing team shoots the ft? A classless tool that does not know how to draft that's who!

"Rebuilding is not a word to use when you still have players like Joakim Noah on your team and you still have Derrick Rose, who we fully expect to come back healthy," Paxson, now the Bulls vice president of basketball operations, said Tuesday in his media tour. "You don't rebuild with a coach like Tom."

Once he were to clear waivers there is a bidding process and the highest bid is then deducted from his original team's obligation. So, say the Mavs win Boozer in the auction for $7.8MM. Then the Bulls obligation would be reduced to $9MM.

The Bulls could also buy out his last year or waive him and stretch that last year over three for a max cap hit of $5.6MM per year.

Some here also thought we wouldn't be able to get rid of Lee

Who? I don't remember any poster saying we wouldn't be able to move Lee. Most thought he'd be combined with Bass or others in a multi-player deal but nobody said he was untradeable. Stop Lying!!!

• Players who are waived by amnesty are not immediately unrestricted free agents. They first must pass through a waiver-style bidding process over 48 hours. First, teams have the opportunity to assume the player’s full contract (which never happens). Once that process passes, teams under the salary cap have the opportunity to bid on the player. The highest bid wins, and if there are equal bids, the team with the worse record gets the player. The player may not be re-signed by the team that released him.

How many teams out there who are under the cap will want to give a 32-year old Boozer a significant amount of money?

You really think there's a team out there who will give Boozer 7.8m?

That's just you manipulating the facts.

And there were some here that never believed we could get an expiring contract for Lee, that's a fact!

Never would a team that had a competent gm would go down this road. I almost cringed at the Boozer trades to the Lakers up until now. I would give him the mid level exception for a nice piece.

Mid-level exception(Fom Wiki)

Once a year, teams can use a mid-level exception (MLE) to sign a player to a contract for a specified maximum amount. The amount of the MLE and its duration depend on the team's cap status. The MLE is $5 million for a duration of four years for teams that are over the cap either before or after the signing, but did not pay a luxury tax in the previous season.
